Summary: The best of them all
Comment: This is one of the Secret Series,Medicine and Nursing's well know, question- and- answer format books that deal with the "tricks of the trade" from the various healthcare specialties. I think this is one of the best in the series.

The book is an essential primer of key areas for anyone in a hospital nursing managerial position, particularly first-line and middle management, although I think nurse managers in other settings would also benefit. It covers a years' worth of basic knowledge that took me years to learn on my own and in college. I wish I would have had it to help me in my first nurse management role.

In addition to including a review of basic management concepts and theory, the authors share their practical advice, pearls of wisdom and real-world tips learned from the School of Experience. It is as good as having a mentor. The concise, tight format makes it easy reading in short intervals, and you can readily focus in on one specific area as needed.

I was impressed by the breath and depth of the topics, from age-old problems to the new emerging issues. The budgeting, staffing, legal, negotiation, and employment chapters provided essential basic tools and ideas that I could use. Chapters on the office, time, meetings, and motivating employees offered valuable new insights. I appreciated the information in areas often not covered in other management books, such as Generation X, managed care, impaired nurses, unions and overseeing renovation projects. This is the most useful nursing management book I have come across.
